This is a sweet concert AUD FOB with great sound quality and 'you're there' experience.

Band is strong and in form playing a great set list. Blow Away, Brent ripping for 12 minutes is heart stopping!

As the comment says below, enjoy this sweet pull from '89!

Great show and FOB don't pass it by!

It was Very Very hot at the show. There were showers set up in the show on the feild at about the 60 yard line. I remember some very large near-naked dready girls taking mud baths in the drainage puddle.

This was also the end of tent city, no more camping out in the parking lots :( it was unreal back in those days not having to be chased out by security and get into your car in a questionalable headspace.

It was SO loud down in front of the band. The sound was beautiful and clear, as this Extremely high quality FOB captures. This sounds better than the mislabeled 'Healy Mix SBD' (really an FOB) currently with the mos reveiws of this show. And I probably think it may be the same original source, just cleaned up a bit.

The Blow Away was ??!??!??!??!!!!??...just listen
........mmmmm Brent

namaste

summer and fall 89 were consistantly good shows

My first GD concert! I think it was like 100 degrees out and close to a half a million people due to the Phillies game at the Vet, some other event was being held at the Spectrum and everybody there to see the Dead! I remember looking up towards the back of the stadium and noticed cars parked along the shoulder of I-95 and people were partying on top of their cars! Wish I could go back in time to re-live the whole experience that day!!

We....need....Dvd, We....need....Dvd, We....need....Dvd

Can't wait till they put it on DVD!

Perfect "Let it Grow!"

This is one of the best AUDs I've ever heard. I prefer it to the Healy soundboard on this site.

This was my 3rd Dead show. My first and second were earlier in the the spring at Crisler Arena at the UofM where I was a freshman. That first show was just OK but the second one was when I really GOT IT. I had been listening to the Dead since I was a kid, but it wasn't until I was actually there that I was able to really appreciate it - the sound of Phil's bass, the incredible timbre and texture of Jerry's guitar (nothing sounded like that Tiger) - and I hung on every note, leaving the place as if on a cloud.

This show didn't match that experience. I always thought the Dead just sounded way better in an enclosed arena than they did in outdoor stadiums. No outdoor stadium show impressed me like the ones I saw at MSG and Crisler. I remember the long Blow Away at the end of the first set but nothing much else stuck with me.

Separately, and this is sort of a nitpick, but I think the way Bob sang "Estimated" changed a lot from the how it was in the 70s and early 80s. It because very affected and mannered, and just generally annoying. And that is on full display here. Boooo.

Download at will.

The sound on this is prime FOB and sweet. Until Rhino gets it together and releases this show in DVD plus CD format ala Truckin Up to Buffalo, grab this, burn it to disc and enjoy this sweet pull from '89.
